Know More about PBNs
A Private Blog Network is one where there is a network or a pool of websites that one are owned by the same person. You can use this network to control the backlinks to your website and therefore improve the ranking of your websites.It starts with the domain. There are many vendors who help with the purchase of PBN domains. Expired/pending expiration domains are cheap and many use that. Auction/drop catching domains are strong but are expensive. It all depends on your ranking strategy and your competition. Whatever be the method you use to create a PBN, there are some risks besides the many benefits it offers. Unlike whitehat linking strategies, PBNs give you better command over the backlinks and thereby ranking effectively. This is one of the prominent reasons that get black/gray hat SEO’s to use this method.
PBNs, however, can be time-consuming and expensive to manage. You can use a resource like Private Blog Network to learn more about the potential benefits and risks of these methods. We'd highly recommend doing your own research and coming up with your own decision based on risk vs rewards. There are also chances of Google penalizing the site and Google is getting better at detecting PBNs. So, what is the best alternative to avoid this? Go whitehat, all the way!!
